It still feels so surreal to bring and tag my whole family along with me every time I have blog projects. The positive feedback and the invites coming from prestigious resorts of me coming by, to try and visit their places have drastically been changing my life lately. It has always been my virtue to make my loved ones happy and allow them to experience what the blogging career has been doing to me for this past year, and I couldn’t help but get giddy and be the happiest person alive every single time I see them smile and hear their laughter.

Paolo Tirador a young good looking business man was generous enough to accommodate us and have my whole family experience what Damires can offer. I’ve read on one of their flyers that Damires is the ultimate Family getaway destination and I couldn’t agree more! I’m so excited to tour you guys around the resort through this blog post.

Ready for the tour? Read along and let’s experience Damires virtually as I reminisce on how precious it is to wake up in a place with birds singing, a mesmerizing view and collect priceless memories of our families together.

Check in : The Heliconia

We arrived around 1PM and was welcomed by Paolo the General Manager and one of the resort owners with their supervisor Crystal. We were then asked to proceed to our rooms and prepare for lunch at the Norma’s Cafe.

Heliconia is the newest building in Damires Hills (Fact: It was opened to the public just this May 2017). This was where we had one of the best valued nights of our lives ever!

Rooms

Welcome! The Resort gave us two Deluxe Rooms in Heliconia ( good for 2-3 pax) which costs Php 3,750 per room. Not bad for the super pretty set up and the stunning view that meets the eye every morning not to mention the endless trail of stars that makes us appreciate how beautiful it is to be alive. Here are some photos I took inside the room 🙂

Room Amenities

The Priceless view from my room

This part of the staycation was one of my favorite! I’ve always been a fan of witnessing the beauty brought by nature. The view from my room was literally jaw dropping and stunning enough to make me reflect on how beautiful life can be. Go see for your self…

Isn’t it breathtaking? Imagine your self waking up to this!

Couldn’t help but do that cliche Arm swag for my instagram account, indeed my jewelry from Guess complimented the elegance brought by the view of Damires Hills Tierra Verde.

The Balcony

Now off for Lunch

On our way back to Norma’s Cafe we were asked to ride the golf cart… Here’s a photo of my mom riding the gorlf cart.

On the other hand, the view was way too beautiful I asked manong to drop me off for a quick photo.

We then had a quick tour of the resort where we saw the pool and more artsy cogons (kubo) surrounding the whole place.

Pool is open from 7AM-9PM ( Note: pool is only open until 7PM for daytime guests)

Late Merienda (Snacks) at Norma’s Cafe

Here’s what we had for our late merienda (For snacks: La Pinay Pizza (Php325, good for 3-4 pax)– Four Cheese blend and mushrooms, Pancit Buko (Php 285, good for 3-4 pax)- Thai flat noodles, young coconut, oyster sauce, seafood and caramel pork + a choice of hot chocolate, coffee and tea ) – Heavy snacks indeed and very delish too!

The resort has been feeding us scrumptious meals since we’ve arrived that day. As a result we opted not take our dinner and went back to our rooms early that night.

Other services

Massaged by an expert that night, as far as I can remember the therapist’s name was Juvy. It was my first time to have my whole body massaged and it felt good, in fact it’s addicting. Haha! I didn’t took any photo while the massage was going on for the process required me to take off some of my clothes. so yeah. (Note: This service is only available upon request.)

Adventure time

Canopy Walk

I woke up to a very mesmerizing view. It was 5am when I got up that day and the ambiance was definitely breathtaking. Tip: Take the Canopy walk around 7 AM while it’s not too hot yet. Go for the Hanging Bridge this part of the adventure is a must! 😉

ATV

(All Terrain Vehicle)

Rates: 300 PHP

Here are some of the photos taken during our ATV adventure…

Meet Manong (My bad, I wasn’t able to get his name.) He’s the one operating and assisting us during the ATV adventure.

What to wear during the ATV?

For skin conscious, make sure to wear sun block during the whole adventure.

Wear comfortable clothes. I’m wearing a Giordano Shirt from i- Hermes Enterprises, their products are perfect for rough travels and adventures like this! i-Hermes enterprise also offers fashionable basic T’s that you can wear during high endurance activities like zip line and more!

By the way guys, I’m leaving for Hong Kong in a few more days and might stay there for a little while. I will try my best to blog during the trip, but just in case I’ll fail to do so, please do follow me and my travels on instagram @ANNETOURSinstead or my daily and life updates on Facebook : Hugging Horizons!
